since there will most likely be ties, we'll need some tiebreakers.  if two teams tie for the division-lead, the tiebreakers will be thus:

1) head-to-head record
2) division record
3) conference record
4) Points For (highest wins)
5) Points Against (highest wins)
6) Coin Flip

if two teams tie for the wildcard spot, the tiebreakers will be thus:

1) head-to-head record
2) conference record
3) Points For (highest wins)
4) Points Against (highest wins)
5) Coin Flip

if more than 2 teams tie for either a division lead or the wildcard spot, we'll use the above tiebreakers.  however, it's possible that a round-robin effect could take place with the head-to-head tiebreaker (i.e. 3 teams tie & team A beat team B, team B beat team C, and team C beat team A).  If this occurs, we'll just move on to the next tiebreaker.  this can only happen in head-to-head record, so it should be easy to resolve.  if 3 teams tie and team A beat both team B & team C in head-to-head record, then obviously team A will get the playoff spot.

also, since every team plays everyone in their division twice and everyone in the other division in their conference once, it's possible that you could be tied in head-to-head record with a team in your division and lose in head-to-head record to a team outside your division.  so, these scenarios could occur:

A, B, C are all tied.  A and B are in same division, C in other division.  A and B have 1-1 head-to-head record with each other.  
If C beat both A and B, then C gets the wildcard.  If C beat A, but lost to B, then wildcard is determined by next tiebreaker for ALL 3 teams(conf. record).  If C lost to both A & B, then wildcard is determined by next tiebreaker (conf. record) for ONLY teams A & B (as both A & B have the head-to-head advantage over C).

If 4 teams tie each other for the wildcard, i'm going to cry, and then also deal with it if & when it happens.

i know this is complicated, but hopefully it won't be too bad.  after all the scores are in for this week, i'll send out another email w/ playoff scenarios.  let me know if any of this is unclear.
